Now I know what you're all thinking: "PKMKII, that brisket recipe sounds great, but I'm incapable of following a recipe without helpful images/food porn to guide me." Well you're in luck!

Day 1 ingredients: brisket, salt, olive oil, garlic

Brisket in the ziploc bag with the aforementioned spices and olive oil (grease stain on stove optional)

Day 2 ingredients: tomatoes, celery, carrots, beef broth, onion

"How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, 'This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant. God must be even greater than we dreamed'? Instead they say, 'No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.'" - Carl Sagan

Brisket after a night in the ziploc (note I poured all the olive oil and other liquids in the pan as well).

Brisket broiling.

Brisket, broth, and veggies ready to go. I cut the veggies rather large, because they shrink down after 4 hours.

(looking for something [per ET's, tris and TS's advice] to feed guy I like besides cookies - I can do cookies)

Do you include couscous as pasta? I can give you a roasted vegetables and couscous recipe that works fine without the tomatoes (or the half a dead sheep that me 'n' the boy would like, but Mrs. H. refuses to eat).
